Add support for the wifi monitor mode in the SDK #2204
Conversation
Conflicts: app/modules/bloom.c docs/en/modules/bloom.md
I haven't tested but this looks really helpful. I would prefer having the documentation into its own file (rather than appending to WiFi). One file per module you configure in |
OK -- I wondered about that. The wifi.eventmon stuff is in the same file, but it is enabled somewhat differently. The wifi.md file is already pretty large. I'll refactor the docs. |
Updates complete. Also improved docs a bit. I suspect that there are other use cases for this monitor mode that could be supported in the future. |
Fixes #2203

.This is the addition of a new module to get access to (initially) the management frames that are being broadcast by APs. It look longer than I expected due to some undocumented subtleties in the SDK. This was finally clarified in espressif/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK#72 as to what I was doing wrong (though I don't think that a null pointer exception is a very friendly way of signalling a problem!)
This works remarkably well on boards like the Wemos D1 Mini Pro which has an external antenna (but you do need to resolder a jumper to make the external antenna work).
